Will You Read This Summer?

Tell us here!

"Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book," said Art of Exceptional Living author Jim Rohn—and we couldn't agree more. That may be why we all have stacks of books next to our beds. Problem is, our books are collecting more dust than they are marginalia. Why? Because meetings. Because get-togethers. Because appointments and classes and, well, you get the idea.

[sidebar]To help you (and ourselves) re-enter the world of reading, we propose a challenge. We propose that for today, the first official day of summer, and every day until Labor Day, you join us in reading five pages of a book—no matter if it's in print or on your iPad. Five pages during your morning commute. Five pages waiting in line at Starbucks. Five pages when the rain keeps you indoors. Five pages anywhere, anytime you can. Then, using the hashtag #PVN5pages, tweet @PreventionMag to show us what, and where, you're reading.

By divvying books up into small, totally readable sections, we'll all see just how much time there actually is to read. And we'll remind ourselves just how much we love it. Here's to a perfect, paperbacked summer!
